Crowds gathered in downtown Manhattan on Monday to stage a protest to draw attention to climate change. Sunday’s march in New York drew hundreds of thousands of people and was one of 2,646 events in 156 countries calling for action.

Ferguson, Mo., is one of many American cities that has received battle gear from the federal government. The program was started to counter drug activity but critics say it encourages police officers to adopt a “warrior mentality.”

A witness says he believes the protester was allegedly beaten by security for the president of the Democratic Republic of Congo. “The whole thing lasted about 10 seconds before secret service intervened.”
